During pregnancy, no drug, no matter how secure, can not be taken alone. And yet, there are medicines that are allowed to apply to pregnant women, to such medicines is tsiston. But to accept and take your own - it's not the same thing: tsiston during pregnancy can be taken only on prescription.

Why is pregnancy the doctor may prescribe tsiston

During pregnancy, often have a variety of infections of the urinary tract. There is even such a diagnosis - "pyelonephritis of pregnant women." Such diseases arise for two reasons. The first reason - low immunity, is a physiological reaction that allows the embryo, then a fetus develop in the woman's body, while its cells are foreign to the body of the mother.

The second reason - the decline of motor activity of smooth muscles of internal organs, including the urinary tract. This occurs under the influence of the female sex hormone progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology . The main task of progesterone during pregnancy - the suppression of motor activity of muscles of the uterus. And since the innervation of the smooth muscles of the whole is unified by autonomic nerve trunks from which the organs of the abdominal cavity, pelvis and retroperitoneal depart branches of nerves, "slow down" the work of any particular branches impossible. As a result, except for the uterine musculature is also decreased motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract. All this leads to chronic constipation and infections of the kidneys and urinary tract.

Urinary tract infections are very dangerous for pregnant women, so the appearance of even minor changes in the urine of women appointed anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment. Such treatment is often necessary to assign a fairly long period of time, and for this purpose are particularly suitable products of plant origin, which have no negative impact on the mother and fetus.

How does tsiston on the body of a pregnant woman

Tsiston has antibacterial action - inhibits the ability to live for him some sensitive pathogens found in the urinary tract.

It also has antispasmodic action - relieves spasm of smooth muscles of the urinary tract. This reduces the stagnation of urine and allows it to freely move up the ureters towards the bladder Urinary bladder - structure and function   and seamlessly go from the bladder through the urethra.

Natural drugs that are part of tsiston of multilateral effects on the kidneys and urinary tract, including stones dissolve already formed, acting on mucin substance gluing them, and prevent the formation of new stones. This feature allows you to assign tsiston gout Gout - the "disease of kings"   - A disease associated with increased production of uric acid salts Uric acid - a normal level? .

Urolithiasis during pregnancy may be complicated by the addition of an infection in this case tsiston can have a positive impact.

As with any drug of natural origin, tsiston acts very slowly, so it is prescribed long courses, sometimes for several months. Despite the fact that tsiston has inflammatory properties, it makes no sense to take in renal colic, caused by the passage of urinary tract stones. Mechanism of pain associated with ischemic tissues of the urinary tract caused by compression of the blood vessels. This ischemia can cause necrosis (tissue death), so the pain of renal colic should be removed immediately and tsiston can not do this.

Can welcome tsiston cause any unpleasant consequences of a pregnant woman?

Tsiston gives no side effects other than allergic reactions. But allergic reactions while taking this drug are quite common, as it is included in the composition of many vegetable components, each of which can cause allergic reactions.

So start taking yourself tsiston pregnant women is not recommended. He was appointed physician and only when indicated. Dose and duration of his admission as determined by your doctor.

Tsiston already being applied during pregnancy and cases of overdose of this drug messages are still not there. It is non-toxic and sufficiently effective drug that can be used both independently and as part of comprehensive treatment.

If a pregnant woman is constantly seen in the antenatal clinic, it allows it to avoid many dangers, such as the negative effects on the fetus of various infections.
